We used Bright-Hill Funerals recently for our mothers funeral. Mum did not want a traditional funeral service with all the trimmings to go along with it . So we were lucky enough to find Nicky and her team that work alongside with her . Nicky visited us in our own home and discussed what we would like her to do for us to make our mums funeral special to her and to ourselves. She made us feel at ease at this most distressing time . We were a bit worried about what others would think of the things we wanted for the funeral but Nicky made us feel at ease by telling us we could do what ever we wanted for mum and not to be worried about going against the traditional funeral . We wanted flowers but we did not want wreaths , mum loved flowers …so we had her favourite flowers …mum loved canary’s so we had a canary singing ….mum loved to hear children sing ..so along with our other song by Bing Crosby we had Connie Talbutt singing Wonderful world . Our service was conducted by Caroline the celebrate ) and we had three speakers from our family, who did a wonderful tribute to our mum along with Caroline and we thank her very much for that . It was sad but beautiful and many people remarked about how beautiful the service was , the flowers ( Beautifuly created by Marlene) were beautiful and mum would have loved them . We are very grateful to Nicky for the service that she provides , nothing was too much trouble for her and the ladies that work alongside with her and we will recommend Bright-Hill Funerals to everyone. Thank you Nicky and team xxx

A lovely letter from a family we have recently helped.

I’d like to take the opportunity to thank you for the caring way in which you assisted me after ****’s recent death.

Dealing with the loss of a family member is always a stressful and difficult time, and like it or not, funeral arrangements have to be made, which is hard, especially when you are still in shock.

Therefore I was grateful that you came along when you did, taking the weight off my shoulders. Nothing was too much trouble and I really appreciated the fact that you went out of your way to find out how we wanted things done, so that you could arrange it that way. You gave so much effort and time and really went the extra mile. All this resulted in a lovely send off for ****.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone in the future.

A message from Mr and Mrs M

Thank you Nikki for all of your help and support these last few weeks, it would have been so difficult without you. Please thank M****** for the lovely Spring flowers, a promise of hope to remind us life goes on. We wish you well for the future.

A note to say

Good morning Nikki,

I just wanted to write you a note to say how thankful I am for your kind and caring service. In a time of confusion and mixed emotions you made everything clear and straight forward, not to mention taking into account our family’s requests effortlessly. I will be recommending you to others that find themselves in the same situation and wish you all the best in the future.

Kind words

I can not thank you enough for the thought and care you gave my family over the last six weeks. It’s thanks to you Nikki and Caroline that Marion had the send of she deserved. You asked me what else you could do to improve, I don’t see how you can fix what aint broke. You showed care and compassion. Other funeral directors should take a lesson from you.

A lovely letter

I recently met Nikki Hill of Bright-Hill funerals a few months ago at a ladies business lunch. I was stuck by what a warm hearted and gentle natured person she is and how she goes about things differently when delivering a funeral service. At the time my mother was very ill and I thought I may need her services in a professional capacity at some point in the near future.

Sadly this turned out to be true and because I had built up a good friendship with Nikki by this time it was a relief to be able to ask her to do Mum’s funeral. Nikki removed all the stess and worry out of organsing my Mum’s funeral. She had an answer for all of my questions and knew exactly what I wanted and needed to do.

I can’t recommend this comany more highly. Nikki really understands how difficult it is to organise a funeral for a loved one when you are grieving and she looks after all the small details that can sometimes get forgotten. She also has people on hand that can assist with any other arrangments such as a celebrant, flowers etc. This is really helpful if you don’t want a religious service.

Nikki made my Mum’s celebration a real tribute and I could not ask for more than that.

I recently lost my beloved Mother

I recently lost my beloved Mother. This and planner her funeral was a sad and distressing time for myself and family. Then we met Nikki, she is an amazing woman and she put us completely at ease explaining everything to us so clearly, everything upfront, no hidden extras. Arranging for us to meet Caroline the celebrant and Marlene for our flowers, everything was arranged in my own home. This was all carried out with compassion and love. Nikki put you at ease the moment you met her. Although she was completely professional, she was like someone that had lost a friend in my mother although they never met. The service taken by Caroline was beautiful as were the flowers by Marlene. If you lose someone close to you please call Nikki and you too will receive love and compassion from a woman that puts her heart and sole into helping others in their sad time.
